BoreSaver Ultra C
Cleans
the rusty iron oxide residues that build up in wells, bores, pumps and pipes.
When iron oxide residues build
up in the well/bore, production drops and maintenance costs can spiral out
of control.
Natural
Ingredients
In The
Past
Most
attempts at solving iron problems have focused on treating the water that comes
out the head works. This of course does nothing to help the pumps or rising
mains, two of the most affected areas. BoreSaver Ultra C has been proven
effective in keeping the pumps and rising mains clean in the most demanding
groundwater conditions.
The amount of BoreSaver Ultra
C to use is based on water volume in the bore to be treated. The degree of
contamination in the pump is not directly related to the length of time the pump
has been in service, rather factors such as mineral levels, dissolved carbon
dioxide levels and the quantity of water pumped influence the amount of residues
contained in the casing and pump.
Silt and Sand Deposits
The soft residues of iron and
manganese oxide generally trap quantities of sand and silt and these are then
released during a treatment. Where a well has not been cleaned for many years
it is advisable to remove the pump and airlift and surge the hole. Using the
airlift the sand and silts deposited in the bottom of the well will be removed.
Subsequent cleans can be carried out using the production pump for recirculation
and purging.
How often To
Clean.
The frequency
of follow up cleans will be determined by the natural conditions already present
in the well and the aquifer. It is not possible to totally eliminate the iron
related bacteria contamination from the far reaches of the underground aquifer.
BoreSaver will however provide effective control and cleaning for extended
periods of time.
By evaluating
when the effects of the iron oxide residues start to cause the installation or
user unacceptable performance, treatment timing can be determined. Generally
this should be considered at the halfway point of the breakdown timeline since
the propagation of the bacteria tends to be exponential. By treating at the
half way point, the optimum performance of the pumping infrastructure will be
maintained. An added benefit of this program is that the ongoing maintenance
costs are locked in at their lowest possible levels.
Examination of
the historical site records as well as studying the telemetry records for the
system will establish this optimum re-treatment baseline.
